Not sure how many people will understand this, but I bought a swimsuit about 4 years ago because it was on sale. It's sat on top of my dresser as one of my 'benchmark - I'll get there some day' things. I haven't so much as touched them (except to occasionally knock the dust off) that entire time. I've been scared stupid because they only fasten with velcro. When I last tried them on the velcro barely touched and when I even took a breath out it was rip-drop time. On a whim I actually put them on today..... not ONLY did the velcro fasten PERFECTLY... I was ALSO able to move around, breath heavy and even did SQUATS in them and they STAYED FASTENED!!!!!!!!!

I cannot WAIT to go to the pool! Man alive... leg's finally healed for the first time in 4 years, swimming suit fits, I can go without a shirt without feeling like a beached whale or being dead of embarrassment... yes this is going to be a watery summer!

    That's fantastic....congrats.

    I've started swimming, as a dodgy knee impairs high impact cardio like running, and I love it! :smile:

    That's an awesome NSV!

    I'm sure you'll be destroying the pool in no time. That was always my issue with going was having to take my top off. I still almost feel that way now even though I've lost 9 stone. I probably look better than most of the people there but not in my head!

    Nice!! I throw my kids in the pool all the time, but never actually do much of it myself... maybe this will be the year for me, too. :drinker:
